Deleuze and Ethics ( Deleuze Connections) - Nathan Jun and Daniel W. Smith - EUP, Uk, 2011

Concepts such as ethics, values, and normativity play a crucial – if subtle and easily overlooked – role in Deleuze’s overall philosophical project. The essays in this collection uncover and explore the ethical dimension of Deleuzian philosophy along diverse trajectories and, in so doing, endeavour to reclaim that philosophy as moral philosophy.

Ethics plays a crucial, if subtle, role in Gilles Deleuze's philosophical project. Michel Foucault claimed that Anti-Oedipus was "a book of ethics, the first books of ethics to be written in France in quite a long time". But what is the nature of the immanent ethics that is developed in Deleuze's thought ? How does it differ from previous conceptions of ethics ? And what paths does it open for future thought, given the ethical challenges facing humanity in so many domains ?

Each of the eleven essays in this collection explores the ethical dimension of Deleuze's thought along a new and singular trajectory, and in so doing, attempts to reclaim his philosophy as an ethical philosophy.

07.10.2011 -Business Ethics and Continental Philosophy - Cambridge University Press - Edited by: Mollie Painter-Morland, DePaul University, Chicago Edited by: Rene ten Bos, Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen

Business ethics has largely been written from the perspective of analytical philosophy with very little attention paid to the work of continental philosophers. Yet although very few of these philosophers directly discuss business ethics, it is clear that their ideas have interesting applications in this field. This innovative textbook shows how the work of continental philosophers – Deleuze and Guattari, Foucault, Levinas, Bauman, Derrida, Levinas, Nietzsche, Zizek, Jonas, Sartre, Heidegger, Latour, Nancy and Sloterdijk – can provide fresh insights into a number of different issues in business ethics. Topics covered include agency, stakeholder theory, organizational culture, organizational justice, moral decision-making, leadership, whistle-blowing, corporate social responsibility, globalization and sustainability. The book includes a number of features designed to aid comprehension, including a detailed glossary of key terms, text boxes explaining key concepts, and a wide range of examples from the world of business.
